An obstetrician who made a number of serious errors when treating new mothers has been found guilty of poor professional performance on 17 counts by a Medical Council inquiry.

A conflict has arisen over whether a mother who died after giving birth was aware she had the deadly Hellp syndrome.

A doctor who treated a mother who died hours after giving birth says she would have brought her to hospital two weeks earlier had she been her patient.

A husband has claimed that minutes after a mother preparing to give birth was given a pain-killing injection following a flare-up between doctors, “chaos” erupted and medical staff rushed around in a panic.
